24The Perspective of the Instruments: Mediating CollectivityFoundations of Science 23 (4): 739-755. 2018.Numerous studies in the fields of Science and Technology Studies and philosophy of technology have repeatedly stressed that scientific practices are collective practices that crucially depend on the presence of scientific technologies. Postphenomenology is one of the movements that aims to draw philosophical conclusions from these observations through an analysis of human–technology interactions in scientific practice. Two other attempts that try to integrate these insights into philosophy of sc…Read more

21De grens van de mens: over techniek, ethiek en de menselijke natuurLemniscaat. 2011.Summary: Wat betekent de alomtegenwoordige rol van techniek in onze cultuur voor mensen? Er zijn drie benaderingen van deze vraag te onderscheiden: uitwendigheid, mediatie en transhumanisme. Deze verschillen in de mate van verwevenheid die ze tussen mensen en techniek waarnemen. De mediatiebenadering blijkt het best in staat de nieuwe menselijke conditie te verhelderen: mensen geven niet meer autonoom vorm aan hun bestaan, maar alleen in verwevenheid met technologie.

18Resistance Is FutileTechné: Research in Philosophy and Technology 17 (1): 72-92. 2013.Andrew Feenberg’s political philosophy of technology uniquely connects the neo-Marxist tradition with phenomenological approaches to technology. This paper investigates how this connection shapes Feenberg’s analysis of power. Influenced by De Certeau and by classical positions in philosophy of technology, Feenberg focuses on a dialectical model of oppression versus liberation. A hermeneutic reading of power, though, inspired by the late Foucault, does not conceptualize power relations as externa…Read more

14Let’s Make Things Better: A Reply to My ReadersHuman Studies 32 (2): 251-261. 2009.This article is a reply to the three reviews of my book What Things Do: Philosophical Reflections on Technology, Agency, and Design in this symposium. It discusses the remarks made by the reviewers along five lines. The first is methodological and concerns the question of how to develop a philosophical approach to technology. The second line discusses the philosophical orientation of the book, and the relations between analytic and continental approaches. Third, I will discuss the metaphysical a…Read more

12Constituting ‘Visual Attention’: On the Mediating Role of Brain Stimulation and Brain Imaging Technologies in Neuroscientific PracticeScience as Culture 29 (4): 503-523. 2020.An important development within cognitive neuroscience is the use of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS), a technique which holds the promise of establishing causal relationships between brain processes and cognitive processes. However, NIBS does not allow researchers to observe neurophysiological processes, and must be coupled with imaging technologies such as Electroencephalography (EEG) for the visualization of neurophysiological change. Technologies such as NIBS and EEG are not neutral int…Read more

1What Things Do: Philosophical Reflections on Technology, Agency, and DesignHuman Studies 32 (2): 229-240. 2005.This paper praises and criticizes Peter-Paul Verbeek's What Things Do. The four things that Verbeek does well are: remind us of the importance of technological things; bring Karl Jaspers into the conversation on technology; explain how technology "co-shapes" experience by reading Bruno Latour's actor-network theory in light of Don Ihde's post-phenomenology; develop a material aesthetics of design. The three things that Verbeek does not do well are: analyze the material conditions in which things…Read more
